Like I posted in another thread, you need to get involved. None of the legislators will sponsor legislation unless there is a request. I offered to e-mail my letter to the legislators regarding Castle Doctrine and guns in NM State Parks to anyone on the forum that would want to write their legislator with similar requests and nobody wrote. That has to tell you something. Either nobody is writing to ask for gun law changes, or they already did it on their own.

I'd like to get copies of your emails.... Last session I wrote emails and letters to my representatives letting them know that I was in favor of improving the language regarding castle doctrine... I'll be happy to draft more if it helps.

That's House Bill 136...

...that they're discussing. I have a feeling, given the recent events in Tucson, that this will probably NOT be the year for much movement towards more rational gun laws. Anti-gun public opinion seems to be on the rise and legislators, especially, seem concerned for their lives. I will give the President a gold star for ignoring a number of his fellow politicians and not mentioning gun control in his State of the Union Address. Elected officials are acting like someone just declared open season on them.
